Various Artists: Bhangra Beatz

Read "Bhangra Beatz" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Bhangra Beatz truly lies at the fringes of jazz, if one uses the standard of improvisation to classify music. This disc relies upon a heavy production aesthetic, yet the presence of live drum work as well as scattered melodic string and flute solos rescues it from the realm of pre-processed Indo-pop.
